It looks like Warner Bros. won’t even make a profit from the film anymore.

Black Adam is in the red

Among other things, there was a trailer to see during this year’s Super Bowl broadcast. Experts assume that Warner Bros. – even if the film is still the 400 million mark would crack – for losing trade for the company will.

What happens to Black Adam now?

DC and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have other things planned for Black Adam.
